WHAT MAKES LIFELINKS VRI DIFFERENT?

Actually---there are TEN advantages over traditional interpreting methods:
  1. All interpreters are certified, trained and experienced with medical, etc. terminology
  2. Video-interpreting is more cost-effective than on-site interpreting because you only pay for what you use. The foreign language video language costs little more than over-the-phone interpreting and results in more accurate sessions and more relaxed patients, while utilizing the hospital's broadband.
  3. Sign Language is available 24/7/365, on demand-no waiting for an on-call interpreter to arrive, or paying two-hour minimums!
  4. LifeLinks allows callers to select from any available sign language interpreter, and offers 150 spoken languages. You may even select the gender and specialty of the interpreter.
  5. Hospitals can provide sign language interpreting services concurrent with spoken languages, tailored to the hospital's specific language needs.
  6. Equipment is inexpensive, light in weight, mobile, modular and upgradeable. You own it. No leasing fees or minimum usage requirements.
  7. Hospitals own their own equipment; no leasing costs or camouflaged monthly minimum usage requirement.
  8. Interpreting sessions are recordable and digitally accessible.
  9. Interpreting units can attach to any in-room TV, regardless of location, and can be permanently attached to clinic televisions/monitors.
  10. The video can be accessed with as little as a web camera for $60 attached to your computer or COW(Computer On Wheels) LifeLinks is committed to providing a "personal touch" to each experience, while fully respecting every user's confidentiality and privacy.
